what is reversepod?

reversepod is a mobile micro-housing unit designed to provide private, dignified, and rapidly deployable housing for people experiencing homelessness, housing instability, or transition from crisis to stability.

reversepod brings the structure of housing closer to the flexibility of a vehicle and the dignity of a real apartment.
